Sample Menu Plans - Week One

source

I have received lots of emails, messages, and comments requesting that I post sample meal plans on my blog. I am a busy woman and have not had time to make sample meal plans of my own. However, I want to try and give you what you need.

At each one of their PowerStart sessions, Weight Watchers gives you a weekly tracker with sample meal plans inside. I hope that these sample meals plans from Weight Watchers help give you some good ideas!! Just for you information, these sample plans are based on a Daily PointsPlus target of 26.

This is EXACTLY what I need right now...guidance in how others are using their points! Because of work travel, I haven't been to a meeting since mid-October (sadly, where I've traveled to has not allowed for me to get to an out of town meeting either), and won't be able to go again until Thanksgiving. While I'm on track--this will help keep me there until I can get back to a meeting!
